Chapter 29 : The Darkhaven
----
[NEXT MORNING]
The sun was high, blissful wind forced open the Window of Natalie's chamber.
Her torn red dress lying on the ground while she is Covered in the bed sheet, in a deep sleep on the bed, the sunlights fell on her face.
Slowly her eyes opened, only to find an empty bed by her side, her eyes fell on the torn dress lying on the ground.
lost in some thoughts, her eyes widened as she panicked and sat straight.
Covering herself with the bed sheet,' what the... So all of it was real....' remembering the moments of the night, her face turned red as strawberry.
' but where did Master go... I remember him falling asleep by my side....'
' I should get ready and go downstairs...'
----
In the Hall on the ground floor, the Inn was already bustling with people. Artha rushed in and out of kitchen bringing the breakfast to the table.
Lily was already up, sitting at the counter she helped artha by taking the role of a cashier, also busy in reading a book.
Walking down the stairs,
Natalie, looked fresh yet her eyes seemed tired.
As Natalie reached the counter, Lily sarcastically smiled at her, asking " why do you look tired ? Couldn't sleep in night? "
Lost in some other thoughts, ignoring Lily's question, her eyes kept searching for something.
' where did master go? He wasn't in the room, normally ! He would start drinking by now, so where did he go? '
" I heard.... Yesterday night..." Lily's words echoed in Natalie's ears, her heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened as she panicked a little.
' was princess awake so late at night? What should I do ? I was too loud, what...what...what...do I...'
Cutting of her thought Lily continued, " Artha told me, how master took stand for you and fucked that shit head . "
Taking a breath of relaxation Natalie's heart calmed a little, ' oh.. so it was about the incident..., so, she hasn't heard anything..'
" Yes! It's true that master master fucked that bastard but it will be too much to say that master took stand for me... That bastard was an idiot himself, he dared to put his hand master's collar and that's why master beat the shit out of that idiot. "
Staring at the pages of her book, Lily smiled, " really ? Because from what I have heard everyone believes that he did it because that noble young master tried to buy you even though he refused multiple offers.
Ahh.. I also heard a line in which he mentioned that " you dare to put a price on the women that belongs to me " "
" It isn't a coincidence is it..."
Blushing Natalie's face turned red as she remembered the moments when William spoke that sentence.
Feigning ignorance, " I don't remember any of those words being said master.. "
" Moreover, where is master today, usually he would have started drinking by now."
Artha hurriedly came out of kitchen, with multiple dishes in her hand, rushing to serve at the table " Good morning, big sis Natalie."
Natalie, smiling naturally replied gently,
Lily still staring at the pages of the book, " I don't know, Artha said he was here in the morning. She also said that the first thing he did in the morning is drinking a beer."
" and then some unknown man, in a complete black attire with his his face covered, joined master and after sometime they both left together..."
Curiously " did Artha not tell you who was the unknown man..."
" No, she didn't, she said that man's face was covered."
" How long has it been since Master left? "
" May be an hour or a little bit more "
Natalie face turned blank, ' just few days ago master said he knows nothing about this realm, and today he left with some unknown man whom even the locals of this place don't know. '
' I wonder where he is now..?'
----
In a back alley, a completely desolate and silent place, two men, one in a completely black dress with a covered face and another one is William in a simple attire with his sword hanging on his waist and his book 'The path ' in his hand, Walking side by side without speaking a word.
' you know very well this could be a trap..'
It's 'the path', everytime the book speaks something in his consciousness, William's face shows a sign of discontent.
' you bastard, you kept crying and pleading from early morning for getting out from that dark place, and once I let you out you wouldn't shut up..'
' fine you idiot, later, don't come to me asking for a solution.'
Irritated with all his chit chat William ignored his last sentence.
" In the Inn, you said you can't show me your face, that you need some place secluded, and we have been walking in the back alley for more than an hour now. "
" Just be done with whatever shit you are conspiring.."
Laughing nastily " He he he... Sir, Those are some harsh words.. "
" There is nothing that I am conspiring, Everything that I have said is true... All you need to do is make the payment, which is a 1000 gold coins for each..."
" That is a total of 2000 gold coins for both of them, and this has to be paid in advance..."
Removing the cloth covering his face, revealing a middle aged man with two long incisors climbing on top of his lips. With multiple dotted patches on his face, and a cheeky smile, " my name is Kieran, also known as THE DARKHAVEN. "
" I have connections and secret paths across the whole Arkania, whether it's between two different human nations or between a human kingdom and the demon kingdom."
" I can definitely, safely transport those two slaves of yours to the demon kingdom."
